Put meat on the foil and pat into a rectangle about 3/4" thick. Lay prosciutto over the meat, 1" from edges, top with 1/2 of cheese. Using the foil to help, roll from the long side into a roll. Seal the ends, top, and any cracks. Wrap well in the foil and set asid e in fridge until ready to bake, 15 minutes would be good. When ready to bake, unroll meat roll onto foil lined baking sheet, sprinkle freshly coarsely ground black pepper over top and place in an oven preheated to 350F for 1 hour.
